In the female restroom…
An elderly woman came out from the toilet cubicle and paused when she saw someone a young woman stood in front of the handwashing area. She had noticed the girl before she went into the cubicle, and now that she came out, the girl was still there, washing her hands.
The older woman washed her hands and dried them. Out of concern, she walked over the girl and stopped. "Young lady?"
"Huh?"
"Are you alright?" the elderly woman asked. "You have been standing there for a long time, washing your hands."
Li Qin Yao snapped out of her thought. She tilted her head down and stared at her hands under the water. Swiftly, she turned off the water and turned to the elderly woman. "I'm fine. Thank you," she forced a smile. "Sorry. I was a bit distracted."
The elderly woman stared at her with concern before she nodded and walked out of the restroom.
